How to connect my PCG-F403 to LAN-internet?

dtygel — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 10:16:52 GMT

Hi all,
I have a vaio PCG-F403, which I used to connect to internet through modem, but now I have an ADSL connection (the net blue cable), and don`t know how to connect my notebook.

Do I need some card? Or an adaptor to USB or something like this?

Thanks for any help! It`s quite a simple qustion, but I didn`t find any mention to it in the knowledgebase nor in its manuals...

Hi D. Tygel

Welcome to the Forum

This depends on the type of ADSL modem that you have and what ports this modem has?

Have a look at the ADSL modems manual for more information, that presuming you have an ADSL modem

Hi Thalamus,

thanks for the quick reply. Well, I'm not connected directly to an ADSL modem, but other computer is, in the office. Normally, all I have to do in a desktop computer is to plug the cable (the blue one) in the ethernet-card plug-in behind the computer, and simply browse in the internet (settings: automatically / dynamically detect DNS and IP).

is there something else I should know? In the desktop computer, it's simply written that I have the "ethernet adapter", not more than that... I think I might have to insert a PCMCIA ethernet card to the notebook? is it? if so, what specs must it have for being compatible to the vaio pcg-F403?

Thanks again for the patience with my newbie's questions,

daniel

Hi, I solved my problem much more simply than I expected: I simply needed a PCMCIA ethernet card (32bits, 10/100MB) and it worked immediately, without the need of any driver.

Now the good old F403 is connected to internet!
